Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in older cats, leading to a range of clinical signs from weight loss to cardiac issues. Early and accurate diagnosis of feline hyperthyroidism through T4 measurement is crucial for effective management and improving patient prognosis. The Tashikin Feline Thyroid Hormone T4 Test Kit offers veterinarians a precise and reliable Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) solution for quantitative T4 detection, enabling confident diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and personalized patient care.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Screen Senior Feline Patients
Routinely screen older cats presenting with weight loss, polyphagia, or hyperactivity for early detection of hyperthyroidism.
Confirm Clinical Suspicions
Utilize quantitative T4 results to definitively diagnose hyperthyroidism and rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.
Monitor Treatment Efficacy
Track T4 levels post-treatment to ensure optimal therapeutic dosing and prevent complications from under or overtreatment.
